350-601 Storage Network Practice Question
A storage architect is designing a disaster recovery solution with a storage array supporting replication. Which three factors should be considered when choosing between synchronous and asynchronous replication? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Network bandwidth availability
Synchronous replication provides zero RPO but impacts performance over distance; asynchronous has higher RPO but lower latency impact and can be used over longer distances.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Fibre Channel zoning configuration
Why it's wrong here
Zoning is unrelated to replication choice.
- ✓
Network bandwidth availability
Why this is correct
Synchronous requires high bandwidth and low latency.
- ✗
Storage array RAID level
Why it's wrong here
RAID level is independent of replication type.
- ✓
Distance between sites
Why this is correct
Long distances favor asynchronous due to latency.
- ✓
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements
Why this is correct
Synchronous provides lower RPO; asynchronous may have higher RPO.
